HEAR FROM OUR PLAYERS

My experience at Rome City has truly been once in a lifetime. I have built meaningful friendships and strong relationships with both students and staff, and my coach has had a major impact on my development.

Playing for a club in Italy has significantly improved my game through technical development, learning a new language, and adapting to a different coaching style — and living in Europe has let me travel, meet people from around the world, and experience a wide range of cultures.

I would not change my decision to come to Rome City for anything. I have grown greatly as both a player and a person, and I am deeply grateful for this experience.
